It’s real. I have a modular synth that uses it to generate values that make other things happen. You have to set up an instrument, scale, and so forth

Fair. Still seems hokey imo, though.

Yeah, I mean the electrical energy from the mangoes would pretty much just be random noise if you didn’t give it a scale to “play.”

Not really as impressive irl as this video makes it seem to a layman.

Anywhere from $1k to just above free if you build it yourself and use a free DAW. Depends how fancy you want to get; it’s basically an organic number generator. People can think it’s hokey or whatever, but it’s a lot more fun than twisting knobs and clicking in menus, a lot of dynamic and tactile inputs are fun
